a) I wish a colleague could stop saying '****', which he utters every five minutes. He has some sort of lisp, which makes it sound as if he says 'stwat', which is rather disturbing. Like so: "Don't stalk sto Scho [Cho]. He was a stwat on the last project."

b) Who thought it was a good idea to do a double shift? Oh, that's right. Me. Why did I think I had the stamina to do long hours at my age? It cannot be denied, I'm a ****ing idiot. Especially when I'm this ready to slash my wrists for a bit of the needed sleep while I still have about five hours to go.

c) I hate poorly-designed zip fasteners. The zip slider on the back of my skirt digs into my lower back, which is pissing me off. Honestly, I'm ready to rip it out of my skirt and pin the waistband together with a safety pin or a few paper clips.

d) If his phone trills the Gameboy start-up sound one more time, someone's going to go bat-shit crazy and kill everyone in the office with a keyboard. That someone will surely be me.

e) I'm not keen on how grumpy I am being at the moment.

I hate it that my assistant keeps banging her knee and elbows on the desk every time she gets up, or moves around. I've been hearing bangs followed by swearing under her breath for the past year she's been working for me,

She's not doing it on purpose, but it's doing my head in!! How can someone be so clumsy!? The desks are really roomy and spacious too, so it's not as if she's cramped up and hasn't got room to move.

People asking me why I'm not feeling "Christmassy"

I think I've got festive fatigue. Seems like it's been Christmas forever right now and it's still 2 weeks away. When it gets to the 20th and work is over and I've had a good lie in and an egg nog, then I start feeling festive.

And no, I don't want a full xmas dinner on the 10th December in the work canteen. I want xmas dinner on the 25th because, well, that's when it is supposed to be isn't it.

When a pet dies and someone says something like "Sorry to hear that. They become like family." No, they aren't "like" family. They ARE family.

The chocolates inside the Dairy Milk advert calendar tasting nicer than that of their standard chocolate bars.

Makes a note of this cos iirc Sainsburys were selling Advent Calendars at 1/2 price
btw: the Pepper Pig one, with doors ~an inch, contained chocolate pieces about the size of smarties, if that.
WWJS ? Methinks it'd be something like: "Hey chaps, that's just not cricket."

What appears to be cliques on some of these forums with the people involved seemingly ignoring most other people's comments and just talking to each other.

Apologies if this has been discussed beforehand

This ^

I have seen people be very rude on DS forums unnecessarily too. I won't say what particular threads they're posting on but I don't understand why they feel the need to be so rude. It makes me wonder what they're like in real life!

A chap next to me is sitting with his knees wide open, which takes up a lot of space.

Why do they do this? Why?

It's rush hour, yo. Please close those legs.


/trapped in what they call the tube.

Asking someone a question via a text, they then respond without actually answering the question.

At least you've got a response! I sent a friend a text asking a question about 10 hours ago & I'm still waiting for her to reply.

Ah! I thought I was the only one who had noticed that. It's so much nicer - less sweet for a start.

Apparently milk chocolate made in the Republic of Ireland has a slightly different recipe than in the UK, so maybe the Advent Calendar chocolate is made there.

The way my friends wife always leaves a long pause before responding to someone asking her something. She won't even react in any way so you're always wondering whether she actually heard you then when you're about to repeat yourself she answers so did hear all along.

Oh were you joking then? Think I read your post when I was a bit peed off so took it as being serious!

I do still think people on some forums are rude though

-When you make a decision about something concerning you and people get arsey about it.
Not their business tbh.

-Eight legged creatures.

-Men who think cus we've talked through messages once or twice that we should go out on a date straight away and I should just ignore my work shifts -_-

-Facebook friends who have read your message (as it tells you what time they read it) and don't bother to reply despite them starting off the conversation.

People you just cant have a conversation with! Father in law is round and he only talks about what hes interested in.

He started off with "have you seen the latest series of dallas" we both said no. So then he proceeds to talk about the show and the characters for almost 40 minutes. No conversation because we have never seen it so hes just telling us about it. Then he goes on to talk about some racing trophies being stolen (we know nothing of formula one because it doesnt interest us) but he rambles on about that for ages.

When we try and talk about something mutual he doesnt seem interested and will change the conversation to something else we have no clue about. Its like that every time. He mentioned something about wanting an ear piercing and the piercing place saying they can do it with a gun or needle but he didnt know the difference. I know about piercings so i started explaining and advising but mid sentence he cut me off to start talking about cars. Makes you think why do i bother at times!
